Not as good as it looks :-(,
By Obsessive knitter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clever Knits: 15 Great Looks for Kids (Paperback)
I was excited to find this book as it has some good looking knits for kids in bulky yarns that will knit up quickly. The emphasis is on minimal finishing so that you can finish a garment quickly. If only it lived up to its promise!
I am working on a sweater from this book right now. The pattern is full of errors and inconsistencies. It tells you to bind off at the shoulders, but later tells you to use the 3 needle bind off - which is not possible if you have already bound off. It tells you to put the remaining stitches at the neck on a holder - and then never tells you what to do with them! The directions for the body from the armholes up are the same for all the sizes - yet the sleeves are different sizes - if you followed the directions the sleeves would not fit. I am following the directions for a 4 year-old size - I have the tension and dimensions exactly right and the sweater is going to be more like a 7 year old size. Of course had I paid closer attention to the pattern I would have realized that in the first place. I am an experienced knitter and have no problem figuring out how to fix the problems I'm running into, but the book is becoming inspiration more than instructions. At first glance it seems like a good book for a beginning knitter but I would not recommend it to anyone who needs a set of directions to follow faithfully.

Clever Knits: Great Looks for Kids,
By wildfire - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clever Knits: 15 Great Looks for Kids (Paperback)
Good book for knitting with heavy/bulky yarns. detailed instructions for some of the more complicated features; i.e., knitting shoulders with 3 needles to eliminate a seam. Intermediate rather than beginner.

Found Book Easy To Use,
By Happy Cow - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clever Knits: 15 Great Looks for Kids (Paperback)
I found the patterns easy to follow and the book informative. I did not run into any of the problems found by two earlier reviewers - everything made perfect sense and worked out just right. I would rate myself an above-average knitter, but I did not need to use any advanced skills to complete the patterns I found in this book. Enjoyable.
